29.6.8.5.2 Class template lognormal_­distribution [rand.dist.norm.lognormal]

A lognormal_­distribution random number distribution produces random numbers x>0 distributed according to the probability density function

p(x|m,s)=1sx2πexp((lnxm)22s2).

template<class RealType = double>
  class lognormal_distribution {
  public:
    // types
    using result_type = RealType;
    using param_type  = unspecified;

    // constructor and reset functions
    explicit lognormal_distribution(RealType m = 0.0, RealType s = 1.0);
    explicit lognormal_distribution(const param_type& parm);
    void reset();

    // generating functions
    template<class URBG>
      result_type operator()(URBG& g);
    template<class URBG>
      result_type operator()(URBG& g, const param_type& parm);

    // property functions
    RealType m() const;
    RealType s() const;
    param_type param() const;
    void param(const param_type& parm);
    result_type min() const;
    result_type max() const;
  };

explicit lognormal_distribution(RealType m = 0.0, RealType s = 1.0);

Requires: 0<s.

Effects: Constructs a lognormal_­distribution object; m and s correspond to the respective parameters of the distribution.

RealType m() const;

Returns: The value of the m parameter with which the object was constructed.

RealType s() const;

Returns: The value of the s parameter with which the object was constructed.
